Merry Christmas 2017

Merry Christmas!  :) 

I'm kind-of laughing at myself that the first picture I'm posting is of our dog, Ziggy.  HA!  But I think he got the first present, therefore he gets the first picture.  And of course he was chewing up his toy right away!  Crazy animal!


It was awesome having everyone home for Christmas morning.  All 8 of us.  What a blessing these people are to me and Todd!

Brandon


Eric and Andraea


Kyle and his Pokemon beach towel


I love this picture of these two crazy kids! :) 


Dallin and his new Zelda shirt


Jacob and his "stack" of clothes!  (And these aren't even all of them.)


Dallin has gotten a few music ties through the years, but I think this one finally hits the spot! Yeah!


Kyle and his new (yep, you guessed it) Batman sweatshirt!



Brandon got the shirt that said Savage!  I wonder why... :) 
(Oh, and he thought that was pretty "Savage" of Santa!)


Jacob could never have too many clothes! :) 



Brandon got a really nice watch (you can't see it....but it's there.) :) 


Jacob got a new amiibo (whatever that is...something for the Zelda game)


Even I got a present!  (I bought these Disney socks for myself a couple of months ago and gave them to Todd and said, "Here is part of my Christmas gift.  Wrap it up!"  And he did!  HA!


Kyle got a Zelda sword.  He was excited about that!  
(That's all we need is another sword in this house!)


Todd used to wear the cologne, Elsha, back in high school when we were dating, (and I've always loved it) and I have looked around through the years to buy some more, but I've never been able to find any for a decent price.  A couple of weeks before Christmas I was shopping at Reams, and there in one of the aisles, right in front of me, were several bottles of Elsha!  I couldn't believe it.  
They were $20 a bottle!  Sweet! 



Always blurry pics!  UGH! 


Dallin and his new Spiderman sweatshirt.  (He and Eric got the same one.)



Jacob got one of those toys that you can make cool "impressions" of things.  
This is the top of Todd's foot!  Funny!


Everyone in our family got fun new socks (except Todd...oops!)  These are Dallin's, of course.


Eric got Zelda socks


And Brandon got Batman, of course!


And here is the backside...


I don't know why I didn't get individual pictures of all of the kids' socks, but I guess I didn't.  So here's a picture of all of us together.

Kyle got Pokemon, Andraea got Christmas socks, Jacob got Spider Man, and I'm wearing Eeyore! (from my Disney pack)  Sweet, right? :) 



And here's a close up!  (I think my foot is the smallest one there!)


We had a wonderful Christmas together.  Eric and Andraea left just after noon to go to her family's extended Christmas party in Tooele, and then they came back and slept over again on Christmas night.  It was great to have them for the holiday!  They left the next morning to spend time with Andraea's family in Fairview for the following week.

The rest of us stayed home all day and relaxed as much as possible! (Our favorite past time activity!) 
And then the day ended and Christmas was over.  I'm so grateful for Todd and all of my children.  Holidays just wouldn't be the same without family to celebrate it with.  
Merry Christmas!
